World threat?

There are more than twelve countries worldwide that are stakeholders of nuclear weapon,and one out of these numbers is considered to be a threat of having a nuclear weapon. Pleas check out this article!

The question is why is it the odd one while there are countries that have over thousands of nuclear weapon and they are not considering themselves to be a threat. However the answer to this would be that its mostly about the competition,countries are competiting around the world of who is going to be on top or who is going to be the most powerful nation on earth,and so when this is going on the countries that are already on top or in power do not want to see the lower countries to jump over them.
An example would be the reaction of the United states and Israel toward Iran,which can be some what logical because Iran some how got involve in obtaining terrorist in its territory which is convincible because terrorist can uses them to persue their needs. THerfore the United States or Israel should not prevent Iran of having a nuclear weapon even though there is a chance Iran can be considers to be a threat.Since Israel and the US plus the rest of the countries around the world have nuclear weapons and they can be even more threat then Iran,so why preventing Iran from developing it nuclear weapon?

  1. It is interesting how the amount of nuclear weapons a country is allowed to produce is a social justice issue. I understand how it is unfair for the US to pose more of a nuclear threat than Iran while preventing it from developing nuclear weapons. On the other hand, I wonder what kind of regulation could or should be put in place. If it is up to the individual countries to control their nuclear weapons, things could easily get out of hand. I wonder what types of regulations the UN or other global organizations have on nuclear weapon production. I also wonder if it is possible to rid the world of nuclear weapons entirely. If so, what would the pros and cons of that be and who would be involved?
